UK trade will thrive despite the introduction of UK border checks after the Brexit transition period, the chancellor has said.
Sajid Javid admitted frictionless trade with the EU would be "over" but said that Britain would have a "better future".
Earlier, an industry body warned border checks on imports could cause fresh food supply problems.
But Mr Javid said supply chains "would be protected".
"Of course, we are not going to have completely frictionless trade because we have left the [EU] customs union and single market," he told BBC economics editor Faisal Islam.
